Hi
 
Hi,

i don't think gzip works on windows.

you can use zip.

zip -r directory.zip directory

winrar will help you to extract gzip files in windows

Hi there,

From what I know, there would be a gzip version for windows. You would need to have adminstrator right on the MS machine though.

Cheers
